Hot cocoa colour palette: cosy winter hex codes for your planner

Cocoa, milk chocolate, a red mug and marshmallow white. It’s the drink you make when it’s dark at four.

Where each colour goes

Colour	Hex	Use it for
Work (cocoa)	#4A2A1F	Work blocks, in a dark cocoa
Health (milk chocolate)	#8A5A44	Walks in the cold, in milk chocolate
Personal (red mug)	#8B1A2E	The red mug: evenings, films and people
Goals (marshmallow)	#F7EFE6	What you want done before the year ends, in marshmallow white
Accent (cocoa)	#4A2A1F	Buttons, today’s date and highlights
Protected time (marshmallow)	#F7EFE6	A soft wash over your protected time

Two browns and one red mug

The browns are close together, so most of the week looks calm and warm. The red is the mug: one strong colour, used for the smallest part. It’s on Personal, so the evenings in are what stand out.

Your week in hot cocoa

The week at the top of this post is a real week in Anser, in the Summer Picnic style with the Bold look for categories, so every event shows its full colour. To get the same look, open Settings › Appearance › Colours › How categories look and choose Bold. The palette works in every style.

A hot chocolate week

• Make it with real chocolate once.
• Get outside at lunch. It’s the only daylight you’ll get.
• One film night. Pick the film before you sit down.
• Early to bed on Sunday.

Make it in Anser

The quickest way: tap Use this palette in Anser on the palette. It opens on your own week, to keep or undo. To set it up by hand:

1. In Anser, open Settings › Categories. Tap the colour next to Work and paste its hex code. Do the same for Health, Personal and Goals.
